Hello guys, what I did yesterday was to install fresh Debian 9.0 on my Windows 10 Laptop- Lenovo V310, which didn't went that smoothly as I am a total newb to Linux OSs. What happened during installation was that my network wireless adapter wasn't recognized so it didn't installed. I've tried to solve the problem with some Googling, but didn't went too far. What I was supposed to do was to run the terminal and then utilize this command: sudo lshw, which worked charm the first time I did it. It displayed my wireless adapter so I googled for drivers of some sort, however I had to abort the search as I had some work to do. So after few hours I restarted the system and did the same command- sudo lshw, which led to nothing... Now the terminal says: bash: sudo: command not found. Can someone help me out as I am getting really frustrated here as I am so new to the system. Thanks.

The line with wireless or wifi is the one you want, so you can grep for that, but showing the whole output of the pci devices is useful.There are non-free drivers for each type of wireless card, so you can have the driver on another USB disk and install that driver during the installation.

As I have an Intel wireless card, I check for a non-free Intel Wireless driver.I find firmware-iwlwifi and can install that if I want to. (I haven't as I don't use wireless.) Your wireless card maybe realtek, broadcom or something else.

Thanks for the help! The lspci command worked fine, I got: Network controller: Qualcomm Atheros QCA9377 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter (rev 31).Now I have to figure out how to install the driver for it, I've opened a new thread, if you can give me a hand on the topic please do, thanks again !

Does the installer not let you do a rootless install anymore? If the rootless install is checked / enabled in the installer the user is supposed to be set up with sudo installed and configured to use the users password for root authentications.

I haven't had to use the installer for quite some time, so I'm asking if that option was removed...
